SPOON-HOLDING- SUGAR-B OWL.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 22, 1908.

Application filed June 26, 1908. Serial No. 440,474.

To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I ,WILHELMINE UTIGARD, a citizen of the United States,residing at Theilman, in the county of Wabasha and State of Minnesota,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Spoon- HoldingSugar-Bowls, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in spoon-holding sugar bowls fortable use, the object of the invention being to provide a sugar bowlhaving'means for ho ding and carrying spoons in upright position.

To that end the invention consists in the construction, combination andarrangement of arts hereinafter described and claimed.

' n the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, Figure1 is a perspective view of my improvedsugar bowl, Fig. 2 is a horizontalsection on line acm of Fig. 1, omitting the handles,'and Fig. 3 is avertical section on line 'yy of Fig. 2.

As shown in the drawings the su ar bowl comprises an inner shell 2,preferab y cylindrical in shape, constituting the sugar receptacleproper, and an outer shell 3. The shells have a common base or bottom 4to which they are secured or with which they are made integral. Theouter shell is larger in diameter than the inner shell so as to leavebetween the shells a space 5 which forms the spoon-holding receptacle.The outer shell 3 is of less height than the inner shell 2, so that thehandles of the spoons may be exposed and readily grasped by the userwhen it is desired to take one from the spoon-receptacle.

The spoons are held in upstanding position by means of a plurality ofvertical partitions 6 which are bridged across the space between the twoshells and divide the spoon-receptaole into sections shorter than thelength of a spoon. These partitions also serve to keep the shells apartand to support one upon the other, thus strengthening the construction.The partitions preferably extend up beyond the outer shell so as tosupport the s oons in as upright a position as possib e. The bowl ismade preferably of sheet metal and is provided with handles 7 and acover 8.

Although I have called the vessel a sugar bowl it is obvious that it canbe used for other articles of food.

I claim as my invention:

1. A bowl of the class described comprising an inner shell and an outershell, the'outer shell being spaced apart from the inner shell to form areceptacle for spoons, and a plurality of partitions bridged across thespoon receptacle so as to divide the same into sections.

2. A vessel of the class described comprising an inner shell, an outershell surrounding the inner shell and spaced apart therefrom to form arece tacle for spoons, a common bottom for said shells, and a pluralityof partitions arranged in the spoon receptacle to hold the spoons inupstanding position, the inner shell being higher than the outer shellfor the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
